I think, you should try to attack the sector with them not at 7-00 but little later. It may help. I can't check it myself, cause I'm playing a blitzkrieg now. I'm going to conquest the whole island in about 4 days.

Sector E5. It seems to be impossible to get into the inside of the forest.

It's possible.

Quote:

Tried bombing the trees away - nothing worked.

Use T.N.T. you can trough it into a tree and explode with the help of a grenade. Or explode it near the tree. But you'll probably have to use more then one T.N.T.

Quote:

way to less medkits in the middel of the game.

That's strange. Try to be more careful.

Quote:

After controlling 30 sectors the enemies are bombing me into the ground with mortar and 40mm grenades.

I think enemies will have less grenades in next versions.

Now I know how to extract speech from the game, so there might be sound for Jack and Brenda soon.

My one big annoyance is the way the game rushes you. After only 2 battles since I started the game I was healing everyone, suddenly the water was poisened and then I failed that mission before I could finish healing.

This mod is a reincarnation of Jagged Alliance. This was a cruel game. Especially if you don't know the quests.

We tried to copy its' history and our mode is also very difficult. Sometimes I think, that it's even more difficult then JA1. We are still working on this project. Some changes make it easier, others make it more difficult.

Adding new mercs made it easier, because now you have more good warriors in A.I.M. and, what is more important - more doctors.

In the last versions strategic part of the game was made much more difficult to prevent some veterans from playing a blitzkrieg.

I can advise you to play on the Novice difficulty level and be ready to restart the game. I think, every time you'll start this mode, you'll make better and better results.

Please, be careful:

GEVAAR VOOR MAAK GORDELS VAS EN VERWYDEN KUNSTANDE

Have you seen this road sign in Eastern Cape?

P.S. If you have any questions about the mode. do not hesitate to ask them. I'll be happy to help you.

We are a odd bunch sometimes, kind of insane sometimes actually if you ask me. As long as you touch neither race nor religion you can make a public joke of anything here. Sometimes it even happens for you, once saw a "Armed Response" (for in case the place get's broken in to) sign on a police station shame

I hope, I'm right here.
I began a new game in vers. 0.5 and what a surprise: I was able to get Mike from the
very beginning!!! I got him for one day because of his weapons. But a greater surprise:
He is in my party now for nothing: N/A is noticed. And all the other mercs I got
for my first money of 40.000 $ too.
That is your intention, is'n it?

I cannot change to weekly or so after daily! I have to except DAILY during the whole game until they leave me.

Yes.
But you can fire them and then hire again.

"extract it into DATA/MERCEDT"

and you must read further: AAAAA

It's a pity. Then, just delete it.

The feature with Russian speaking Ivan looks bad. It works on my computer, cause I have Russian in my operation system, but it is not interesting for Russian players. It was planned for people who do not speak Russian, but they have computers with other basic languages and it doesn't work.

Fan:I'm always happy to see you here. But I don't do it immediately, especially at summer.

It's no secret. I like your mod

I must be back with this:

It's new that I may engage such mercs like Mike and Kelly
from the very beginnig, isn't it?
If it's new in former versions: Sorry, I don't try to
engage them because I have been here with the practice of
the first version.

sorry, I'm back here again.
The inventory is full. If I find a key I have to drop anything
of my inventory to carry a key and to try to open a door.
If the key was the right it disapears and I take the next key.
In the last sector I found three keys.
I know that was the same in the old, old Ja1.
And that is the reason for this circumstances now?

indeed. Needle, my old companion as healer, is the first from the very beginning.
Then Wolf and - thank God! - Fidel. Ivan, the "AAA-man", sorry, I have no money.
But he is the next. No mechanism, the crowbar must help.

In my currently game I'm in C 3, healing and repairring, 3 times interrupted by the
enemy. It seems to me, this is without any end. There is no time to end such
things. You must go to the next sector with weapons that are defective or mercs
that are not healthy. And the enemy is - without the attention of my mercs on the
roof (Lynx and Ivan, Level 5 now) - neer beside the house and has the first shot.
Lynx was dead by one shot *)

And Jack is a slaver.

Oh, I play - as ever - NOVICE.

This is only for your info!

Edit: *) I have looked for this. Lynx has been dead
in the 4.(!) attack in this sector. Now, after the 5. attack,
it's night. I have to heal and repair because I have found
4 mortar shells till this sector and I don't know how many
granades I shall need in the last sector. So I have to
repair also the granades which the enemy lost in the
fight. Mike has no ammunition now for his M 14.
I have to use only "hollow" for the M 16 through the
others and a little bit the AK47.
Yes, the enemy had in the last fight only 6 finghters.
But this is enough to loose your ammunition.

1st: nice mod i really like it, congratulations - very good work.
2nd: in JA:DG there is posiibility to sell some stuff I don't know whether it was in original JA
3rd: 5 min for duaration one turn of battle ? This is little insane.
4th: I can't imagine myself how people play this without save during the battle

This is not official english version (Google Translator was used for mercs speech and desc. of some items) of mod because I make this "on the fly" to run for testing purposes...
You better start a new game due to a lot of changes from official english version 0.50 (28.09.2013).

1. Don't use installer (it's in russian so you don't need it)
2. Extract files from archive (metavira_rc2.rar)
3. Go to Metavira folder, select all items and move them to the JA2 Gold folder (clean installed)
4. Overwrite all files
5. Extract Metavira_0.85_EN.7z to the same folder (JA2 Gold) where JA21m.exe exist
6. Run English_please!.bat
7. Start the game using JA21m.exe

If you want new interface in the game go to step 2 (above). Next go to Extras folder and move Interface to .\JA2 Gold\Metavira\ and overwrite files.
That's all.
If you decided to use new interface I also recommend to delete GOLD_FRONT.STI file from .\JA2 Gold\Metavira\Interface (file responsible for color of selected mercs - default is grey - it isn't really visible in compare to gold).

Now you should have english version
And BTW - sorry for bad translation in new game options (thanks to Google Translator anyway).
Any comments and suggestions are welcomed.
Enjoy!

I toyed with a script and made some .bat files after identifying the serial numbers of the voice files found in speech.slf ([ja2metaviragamefolder]/Data/ - corresponding to the original in JA2) e.g. Barry's voice files in speech.slf begin with 000_ and they're used by Sam in JA2 Metavira, so I changed every single Sam file found in [ja21.13gamefolder]/Data-1.13/Speech (226_*.wav or 226_*.ogg) into 000_*.wav and put them into [ja2metaviragamefolder]/Metavira/SPEECH so that they can overrule all Barry files from speech.slf .

Hey,
Im enjoying this mod so far,but there is one thing that bothers me: I can lockpick doors heaving 99 mec stat,also by crowbar heaving 95 str.This is bug i think because in original IIRC i can do this with no hastle.
Edit:
Also if enemies are in critical state they should retreat,here they don't give crap and act like terminators ;D
Edit2:
Im quiting-too much frustration is never fun.100% camo and enemies seems not care about it - they see me,but i can't see them.

It's not a bug it's mod feature Anyway it is hard to play mod (I used ALT+S ALT+L very often).
